Clara Agnes was born January 11, 1932 on a farm near Hitchcock, Saskatchewan, Canada to Noel and Cecelia Tessier. She attended grade school in Hitchcock and when she was 15 moved to Crosby, North Dakota with her family.
After graduating from Crosby High School, she moved with her parents to Williston, ND where she worked for several years. In 1954 she moved to Minneapolis and worked at the University of Minnesota Hospital.
Clara returned to Williston where she met and married Les Stewart. Together they worked on the farm for many years until Les passed away in 1994. At the age of 86, Clara was still living and actively helping on the farm, supporting her church, St. Boniface and truly enjoying time with her family. Just days before her 87th birthday, Clara was diagnosed with brain cancer. She moved to the Arbor House and then to Bethel Home for the last 9 weeks of her life. In her autobiography she wrote, "I love the farm and the country living".
